The Business Case for Being a Decent Human Being (and Lawyer) [LGE 015]

It’s not enough to be competent in your practice area, now clients expect lawyers to be decent human beings as well. In this episode, I share my thoughts on the importance of being a good person and how that has a positive impact on your business.

I also examine the fall out from a New York attorney’s recent “racist rant” and how that is negatively affecting his reputation and law practice.

What I Discuss in This Episode:

How lawyers now must be good people along with being competent in their practice areas

What effect, if any, your behavior outside of your lawyer duties have on your career as a lawyer

Clients care about how they’re treated, and sometimes, that’s enough to prevent a filing of a malpractice claim

How you treat clients is reflected in Google Reviews and that affects business

What can we learn from Aaron Schlossberg, the New York lawyer who recently went on a rant that basically ruined his reputation as a lawyer
